Candle light, a bath bomb that chipped half my nail polish off opening, and a rye whiskey that realistically speaking I can admit that I needed a chaser for and yet I did not brink a chaser into the god damn bathtub with me so.... Not every self care attempt works out, sometimes all you have is really thematically coordinated packaging for the gram. .

Take today one step at a time. Really engage with what you are doing, instead of rushing through it. Results are nice, but they depend on the quality of the process. The Universe knows everything and everyone, so it knows when you are present and when you are trying to manipulate an outcome. Monkey energy is showing up today to remind us of taking care of ourselves first, because that’s how we achieve anything. There’s also the reminder to be playful and find joy in everything you do. Simply close your eyes and ask for monkey energy to help you heal your soul. You’re on the right path, now it’s up to you to trust it.

This doodle was more for me than an audience, but I decided to post it anyway.
As some of you may know, when I was younger I had a lot of issues with my self-confidence and body image. I thought my shoulders were too broad, my height- too short, and so on.. I hated seeing myself in the mirror or in any photos.
Then, came one day where I had challenged that thought. "Why do I feel this way? Why did I never worry how I looked when I was a little kid?" And for me, that was because I got too caught up with Society's vision of "beauty". From then on, I started staring myself down in the mirror, doing crazy faces and poses, just to make myself used to seeing how different I am and how great I can be when my mind isn't focused on looking anything other than myself. I started changing things up by working out and toning my arms so everything felt right haha and most importantly, I started, little by little, loving myself and my body more. I started to work toward feeling comfortable in my own body.
You have to get used to seeing something before you can love it fully, and I learned that by doing the silliest things in the mirror!
I wanted to share the lesson that I've taught myself incase any of you are feeling self-conscious about yourselves. Every body is different, but every body is also special and unique (which is a good thing). Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk haha

Today in our 28 Day Self Care Challenge (link in bio) we discussed how MEAL PREP is an important part of #selfcare
-
Meal Prep: • Can help save money.
• Can ultimately save time.
• Can help with weight and energy levels.
• Can contribute to an overall more nutritionally balanced diet.
• Can reduce stress as you avoid last minute decisions about what to eat, or rushed preparation.
